ProfessorIt wasn't. Both the Allies and the Axis recognised the cultural importance of Paris and the fact that it had no strategic value, so it wasn't bombed. However, the French Resistance were very active in the area and there were quite a few skirmishes between them and the German Army of Occupation, particularly after D Day.
Yes, Paris experience bombing when the Allies and French fought against the Germans still remaining in Paris, France. There was no bombing in 1940 in Paris when the Nazi's invaded France initially.

Why was Paris not bombed?
During World War II, the historic city of Paris was not bombed when the Germans invaded France (in 1940) because of a conscious decision made by French political and military leaders. These leaders declared Paris to be a "Free City"; that is, they communicated to Germany that they would not defend Paris nor use it as a military base, and thus it was spared from being bombed or otherwise attacked.
